Cookie Dough Base
- 1 1/2 cup (228g) all-purpose flour, heat-treated
- 1/2 cup (111g) salted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup (58g) granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup (123g) brown sugar
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup (200g) mini chocolate chips (divided: some frozen for folding)
White Chocolate Fudge Mixture
- 1 cup (200g) Ghirardelli white chocolate chips
- 1 14 oz can (193ml) sweetened condensed milk
- Freeze Mini Chocolate Chips: Place 1 cup of mini chocolate chips in the freezer to chill until they are needed later in the mixing process. This helps maintain their texture when folded into the fudge.
- Heat-treat Flour: Measure out 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring halfway through, until the flour reaches 165°F (74°C) to ensure it is safe to consume raw. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a stand mixer bowl or using a hand mixer, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and combined thoroughly.
- Add Flour and Salt: To the creamed mixture, add the heat-treated flour and salt. Mix until completely incorporated, forming the cookie dough base.
- Prepare White Chocolate Mixture: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and sweetened condensed milk. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth, about 2 minutes total.
- Combine Fudge Mixtures: Pour the melted white chocolate mixture into the bowl with the cookie dough. Mix together until smooth and evenly combined.
- Fold in Frozen Chocolate Chips: Quickly fold in the frozen mini chocolate chips from the freezer, so they stay firm and provide a delightful texture contrast.
- Transfer to Pan: Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the fudge mixture into the pan and spread it evenly.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the fudge for at least 2 hours or until firm enough to cut into squares.
- Storage: Keep the fudge refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain its texture and freshness.
Notes
- Heat-treating the flour is essential to ensure that any harmful bacteria are eliminated since this recipe uses raw flour.
- Freezing the mini chocolate chips before folding them in prevents them from melting into the fudge mixture, preserving texture.
- Use parchment paper to line the pan for easy removal of fudge slices.
- Store fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a nut-free version, ensure chocolate chips and ingredients used are processed in a nut-free facility.
